Part 2 of the hearing record covers testimony given in Woodward, Oklahoma by local residents and representatives of consumer groups and water resource planners and agencies on opportunities for ground water recharge in western Oklahoma. At issue was legislation (S. 1811 and H.R. 71) calling for a special comprehensive study on western ground water recharge and development, and which would serve as a basis for demonstration projects. The witnesses described existing reclamation projects, the problems of ground water depletion due to irrigation activities, the characteristics of the Ogallala aquifer, and other aspects of the proposal. Additional material submitted for the record follows the testimony of 23 witnesses.
